Description

  The technology of the present disclosure relates to a burner that burns a mixture of fuel and air.

  Conventionally, a diesel particulate filter (DPF: Diesel Particulate Filter) that captures particulates (PM) contained in exhaust gas is disposed in an exhaust passage of a diesel engine. In such a DPF, a regeneration process is performed in which the fine particles captured by the DPF are incinerated in order to maintain the fine particle capturing function.

  For example, in the exhaust emission control device described in Patent Document 1, a burner is disposed in front of the DPF, and combustion gas is generated in the combustion chamber of the burner. Then, the combustion gas is supplied to the exhaust gas in the exhaust passage, whereby the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing into the DPF is raised. As a burner used for the regeneration treatment, a technique for generating an air-fuel mixture using vaporized fuel and air in order to reduce unburned fuel contained in the combustion gas is also known.

JP 2011-185493 A

  However, even when an air-fuel mixture is generated by the vaporized fuel and air, the temperature of the air may be lower than the temperature of the vaporized fuel, so that heat exchange between the passage through which the vaporized fuel flows and the air proceeds. Then, the temperature of the vaporized fuel before the injection is lowered, and the vaporized fuel is liquefied. As a result, the unburned fuel corresponding to the liquefied portion of the vaporized fuel is still included in the combustion gas.

  The technique of this indication aims at providing the burner which can suppress the production | generation of the unburned fuel resulting from the liquefaction of vaporized fuel.

A burner that solves the above problem includes a cylindrical portion having a pair of end portions facing each other, an air introducing portion that introduces air into the cylindrical portion, and a fuel supply portion that supplies fuel into the cylindrical portion. The tubular portion includes a proximal end tubular portion including a proximal end portion which is one of the pair of end portions, and a distal end portion which is the other of the pair of end portions, than the proximal end tubular portion. and a small inner diameter can tip tube portion, the proximal end is closed, which opening the air-fuel mixture of the fuel and the air in the tip comes out is formed, the air introducing portion, said Air is introduced into the base end cylinder part , and the fuel supply part is formed in a tubular shape extending into the cylinder part from the base end part into the tip end cylinder part, and at least an outer peripheral surface of the fuel supply part A covering portion covering a part is further provided.

According to this configuration, since at least a part of the outer peripheral surface of the fuel supply unit is covered with the coating unit, the air introduced into the cylinder unit and the fuel supply unit are compared with the configuration in which the coating unit is not provided. The chance of contact is reduced. As a result, heat exchange between the vaporized fuel flowing in the fuel supply unit and air is suppressed, and a decrease in the temperature of the vaporized fuel flowing in the fuel supply unit is suppressed. Therefore, an increase in unburned fuel due to liquefied vaporized fuel is suppressed.
Moreover, according to this structure, vaporized fuel is injected in the front-end | tip cylinder part, and the flow velocity of the air introduce | transduced from the air introduction part is raised rather than a base end cylinder part. Therefore, even if the injected fuel is liquefied, the liquefied fuel is unlikely to flow backward to the upstream side of the air flow path. That is, the liquefied fuel is easily guided downstream in the air flow path. Thereby, the probability that the liquefied fuel is burned is increased.

In the burner, it is preferable that the covering portion is formed in a cylindrical shape covering the outer peripheral surface of the fuel supply portion over the entire circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the fuel supply portion.
According to this configuration, since the outer peripheral surface of the fuel supply unit is covered with the covering portion over the entire circumferential direction on the outer peripheral surface, the fuel supply is compared with the configuration in which the outer peripheral surface is exposed at a part of the outer peripheral surface in the circumferential direction. Opportunity of contact between the part and air is suppressed.

  In the burner, an injection port for injecting fuel into the cylinder portion is formed at the tip of the fuel supply portion in the fuel supply portion, and the covering portion is formed on the injection port side from the base end portion of the cylinder portion. It is preferable to provide a throat portion that is narrowed toward the front.

  According to this configuration, a part of the air hitting the covering portion is guided to the vicinity of the injection port by the throat portion. As a result, the vaporized fuel and air injected from the injection port are efficiently mixed.

In the burner, the throat portion, is set as the inner throat portion, the cylindrical portion, the proximal cylindrical portion of the end and the distal tube portion side of the end portion before Kimototan tubular portion in the distal end tube portion and it connects the parts further comprising an outer throat portion that Lisbon toward the distal tubular portion from said proximal cylindrical section. Then, before Symbol injection port is preferably disposed on the front end cylindrical portion.

According to this arrangement, since the above end cylindrical portion and the proximal end cylindrical portion is connected by the outer throat, to increase the flow velocity of the air at the distal end tube portion than the proximal cylindrical portion it is smoothly implemented.

In the burner, it is preferable that a gap between the inner throat portion and the outer throat portion is gradually narrowed toward the tip tube portion.
According to this configuration, in the process in which air flows from the proximal end tubular portion to the distal end tubular portion, an abrupt change in the air flow direction can be suppressed, so that the air flow direction can be easily maintained. As a result, the inflow of air from the proximal end tubular portion to the distal end tubular portion is realized more smoothly.

  The burner 20 is provided with an intermediate cylinder part 37 in which a part of the inner cylinder part 33 is inserted and extends in the horizontal direction. The intermediate cylinder part 37 is formed in a cylindrical shape concentric with the inner cylinder part 33, protrudes to the ejection port 32 side from the inner cylinder part 33, and the opening of the protruding part is closed by a closing plate 38. The intermediate cylinder part 37 has a cylinder end on the side opposite to the ejection port 32 disposed on the ejection port 32 side of the outer throat part 34, and the cylinder end is located outside via an annular partition wall part 39. It is connected to the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 30.

  The partition wall part 39 partitions the gap between the intermediate cylinder part 37 and the outer cylinder part 30. The partition wall portion 39 has an inner peripheral edge portion that is connected over the entire circumference of the outer side surface of the intermediate cylinder portion 37, and an outer peripheral edge portion that is connected over the entire circumference of the inner side surface of the outer cylinder portion 30. A plurality of communication passages 40 are formed in the partition wall 39 to communicate the ejection port 32 side and the opposite side of the ejection port 32. A wire mesh 41 is attached to the partition wall 39 to cover the plurality of communication passages 40 from the outlet 32 side. An ignition portion 43 of the spark plug 42 is disposed on the side of the ejection port 32 with respect to the wire mesh 41.

  The burner 20 includes a first chamber 51 that is a space surrounded by the outer cylinder portion 30 and the outer throat portion 34, and a second chamber 52 that is a space surrounded by the inner cylinder portion 33 and communicates with the first chamber 51. And are formed. Further, the burner 20 is a space surrounded by the intermediate cylinder portion 37 and the closing plate 38 on the side of the ejection port 32 relative to the inner cylinder portion 33, and a third chamber 53 communicating with the second chamber 52, A fourth chamber 54 communicating with the third chamber 53 is formed by a gap between the inner cylinder portion 33 and the intermediate cylinder portion 37. Further, the burner 20 is formed with a fifth chamber 55 which is a space surrounded by the outer cylinder portion 30, the partition wall portion 39, and the outer throat portion 34 and communicates with the fourth chamber 54. Further, the burner 20 is a space surrounded by the outer cylinder part 30 on the side of the ejection port 32 with respect to the gap between the outer cylinder part 30 and the intermediate cylinder part 37 and the closing plate 38, and is a partition wall. A combustion chamber 56 communicating with the fifth chamber 55 through the communication passage 40 of the portion 39 is formed.

  The fluid flowing through the second chamber 52 flows substantially along the axial direction of the inner cylindrical portion 33, and the flow path cross-sectional area S <b> 2 in the second chamber 52 is a cross section orthogonal to the axial direction of the inner cylindrical portion 33. , Determined by a circle having an inner diameter D of the inner cylindrical portion 33. On the other hand, the fluid flowing in the first chamber 51 swirls toward the center of the outer cylindrical portion 30, and the flow path cross-sectional area S 1 in the first chamber 51 is a cylindrical surface along the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylindrical portion 30. Thus, the distance L between the substrate 21 and the flange portion 35 is determined by the cylindrical surface having a height. The channel cross-sectional area S2 in the second chamber 52 is designed to be smaller than the channel cross-sectional area S1 in the first chamber 51.

  A circular fuel passage 60 is fixed to the substrate 21 so as to penetrate the central portion of the substrate 21. A fuel pump and a fuel valve for supplying fuel to the engine are connected to the fuel passage 60, and vaporized fuel obtained by vaporizing the fuel that has passed through the fuel valve with an electric heater is supplied. An internal passage 61, which is a portion of the fuel passage 60 that protrudes from the substrate 21, extends from the substrate 21 to the second chamber 52, and an injection port 62 for injecting vaporized fuel is formed at the end of the cylinder. .

  A cover 65 formed in a cylindrical shape covering the outer peripheral surface of the internal passage 61 is fixed to the substrate 21. The covering portion 65 is made of metal, covers the portion of the internal passage 61 that is closer to the substrate 21 than the injection port 62, and the inner throat portion 66 that is narrowed toward the injection port 62 is a portion closer to the substrate 21. In preparation. An air layer 67 is formed between the internal passage 61 and the covering portion 65. In the radial direction of the inner cylindrical portion 33, the inner throat portion 66 is disposed at a position where the outer throat portion 34 is displaced inward in the radial direction, and a part of the inner throat portion 66 and the outer throat portion 34 are mutually connected. It is arranged at the overlapping position. A gap between the inner throat portion 66 and the outer throat portion 34 is gradually narrowed toward the inner cylinder portion 33.

  An air supply pipe 68 that is formed in a cylindrical shape extending in the horizontal direction by inserting the outer cylindrical portion 30 is fixed to the substrate 21. In the air supply pipe 68, the opening opposite to the ejection port 32 is closed by the substrate 21, and the gap between the air supply pipe 68 and the outer cylindrical portion 30 is annular at the cylinder end on the ejection port 32 side. The closing plate 69 is closed. The downstream end of the air supply passage 70 is connected to the air supply pipe 68 at the end on the ejection port 32 side. The upstream end of the air supply passage 70 is connected to the intake passage 13 of the engine 10 and downstream of the compressor 15 that rotates together with the turbine 14 disposed in the exhaust passage 11.

  The air supply passage 70 is provided with an air valve 71 capable of changing the cross-sectional area of the air supply passage 70. The air valve 71 is controlled to open and close by a control unit (not shown). When the air valve 71 is in an open state, a part of the intake air flowing through the intake passage 13 through the air supply passage 70 is used as combustion air in the air circulation chamber 72, which is a gap between the outer cylinder portion 30 and the air supply pipe 68. Inflow.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the vicinity of the outlet of the air supply passage 70, the combustion air is guided so that the combustion air flowing through the air circulation chamber 72 turns into a swirling flow swirling around the outer cylindrical portion 30. A guide portion 73 is provided. The guide portion 73 has a plate shape that is fixed to the inner surface of the air supply pipe 68 and is disposed so as to cover the outlet of the air supply passage 70. The guide portion 73 is bent from a fixed portion with respect to the air supply pipe 68 and is inclined so as to be closer to the outer cylindrical portion 30 as a distal end portion thereof. Combustion air flowing out from the air supply passage 70 is guided to the guide portion 73 by colliding with the guide portion 73. As a result, a swirling flow of combustion air swirling around the outer cylindrical portion 30 is formed in the air circulation chamber 72.

  In the outer cylinder portion 30, first introduction ports 75 that are air introduction portions for introducing the combustion air in the air circulation chamber 72 into the first chamber 51 are formed at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction. In addition, a plurality of second introduction ports 76 for introducing the combustion air in the air circulation chamber 72 into the combustion chamber 56 are formed in the outer cylinder portion 30 on the ejection port 32 side with respect to the ignition portion 43. A part of the combustion air flowing through the air circulation chamber 72 is introduced into the combustion chamber 56 through the introduction port 76, and the rest is introduced into the first chamber 51 through the introduction port 75. Combustion air introduced into the first chamber 51 is guided by a cut-and-raised piece 77 as a swirl flow generating portion formed in the outer cylindrical portion 30.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the cut-and-raised piece 77 is obtained by cutting and raising a part of the peripheral wall of the outer cylindrical portion 30 from the opening edge of each introduction port 75. The cut-and-raised piece 77 is disposed so as to cover the introduction port 75, and guides the combustion air flowing into the first chamber 51 through the introduction port 75, thereby allowing the first chamber 51 to surround the covering portion 65. A swirling flow that swirls is generated. Of the combustion air flowing in from the introduction port 75, the combustion air flowing along the inner surface of the outer cylindrical portion 30 is outside by the cut-and-raised piece 77 formed downstream in the swirl direction with respect to the introduction port 75. It is guided to the area on the center side of the cylindrical portion 30. In this embodiment, the guide part 73 and the cut-and-raised piece 77 are formed so that the swirling flow of the combustion air generated in the air circulation chamber 72 and the first chamber 51 is in the same direction.

The operation of the burner 20 having the above-described configuration will be described.
When the regeneration process of the DPF 12 is started, the burner 20 controls the air valve 71 to an open state, supplies vaporized fuel to the fuel passage 60, and drives the ignition unit 43. When the air valve 71 is opened, a part of the intake air flowing through the intake passage 13 flows into the air circulation chamber 72 as combustion air. The combustion air is guided by the guide portion 73 and flows toward the side opposite to the ejection port 32 while turning around the outer cylindrical portion 30.

  A part of the combustion air flowing through the air circulation chamber 72 is introduced into the combustion chamber 56 through the introduction port 76, and the rest is introduced into the first chamber 51 through the introduction port 75. The combustion air introduced into the first chamber 51 does not weaken the turning force by the guide portion 73 by the cut-and-raised piece 77, but rather swirls around the covering portion 65 after the turning force is strengthened. However, it heads for the area | region of the center side of the outer side cylinder part 30. FIG.

  The combustion air that has turned into the swirl flow flows toward the second chamber 52 through the gap between the inner throat portion 66 and the reduced diameter portion 36 of the outer throat portion 34 while being guided by the inner throat portion 66 of the covering portion 65. In the second chamber 52, vaporized fuel is injected into the combustion air from the injection port 62 of the internal passage 61, thereby generating an air-fuel mixture that flows toward the third chamber 53.

  The air-fuel mixture flowing through the second chamber 52 toward the ejection port 32 is eventually turned around in the third chamber 53 and flows through the fourth chamber 54 in the direction opposite to the second chamber 52. Then, the air-fuel mixture is rotated again in the fifth chamber 55 and then flows into the combustion chamber 56 through the communication passage 40 of the partition wall 39. When the air-fuel mixture that has flowed into the combustion chamber 56 is ignited by the ignition unit 43, the combustion chamber 56 generates a flame F that is a combustion air-fuel mixture and a combustion gas that accompanies the flame F. The Combustion air is supplied to the flame F from an inlet 76 formed in the outer cylindrical portion 30.

  The combustion gas generated in the combustion chamber 56 is supplied to the exhaust passage 11 through the ejection port 32 and mixed with the exhaust gas in the exhaust passage 11 to raise the temperature of the exhaust gas flowing into the DPF 12. In the DPF 12 into which such exhaust flows, the temperature rises to the target temperature, and the fine particles captured by the DPF 12 are incinerated.

  That is, in the burner 20, the blowing of combustion air to the internal passage 61 is suppressed by the covering portion 65. Therefore, the heat exchange between the vaporized fuel and the combustion air via the internal passage 61 is suppressed, so that the temperature drop of the vaporized fuel flowing through the internal passage 61 is suppressed. As a result, the vaporized fuel becomes difficult to liquefy.

  And since the coating | coated part 65 is cylindrical, the outer peripheral surface of the internal channel | path 61 is covered over the perimeter in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the blowing of combustion air to the internal passage 61 is suppressed with a high probability. As a result, the temperature drop of the vaporized fuel flowing through the internal passage 61 is efficiently suppressed.

  Further, the combustion air flows toward the second chamber 52 between the inner throat portion 66 constricted toward the ejection port 62 and the reduced diameter portion 36 constricted toward the ejection port 32. That is, the combustion air flows toward the second chamber 52 while suppressing a rapid change in the flow direction. Thereby, in the second chamber 52, the swirl state of the combustion air is easily maintained. In addition, not only the second chamber 52 but also the third chamber 53 to the fifth chamber 55, the combustion air is easily maintained in a swirling state. As a result, as compared with the case where the swirling flow of the combustion air is difficult to be maintained, the mixture of the fuel and the combustion air is efficiently performed by increasing the flow path of the air-fuel mixture.

  In addition, since the flow passage cross-sectional area S2 of the second chamber 52 is smaller than the flow passage cross-sectional area S1 of the first chamber 51, the second chamber 52 is responsive to combustion air swirling at a faster speed than the first chamber 51. Vaporized fuel is injected. Therefore, even if the fuel is liquefied in the second chamber 52, the liquefied fuel is more likely to flow into the third chamber 53 than in the first chamber 51. That is, the liquefied fuel is easily guided downstream in the air-fuel mixture flow path. As a result, the probability that the liquefied fuel is burned is increased.

  By the way, when the air-fuel mixture burns in the combustion chamber 56, the outer cylinder portion 30 and the intermediate cylinder portion 37 forming the combustion chamber 56 are heated by the combustion heat of the air-fuel mixture. Therefore, the combustion air flowing through the air circulation chamber 72 after the start of combustion of the air-fuel mixture is heated by the combustion heat via the outer cylinder portion 30. By such heating, combustion air having a higher temperature than that in the case where the combustion air is not heated is introduced into the first chamber 51. When the air-fuel mixture is generated by such combustion air, the vaporized fuel is further hardly liquefied.

  Moreover, the combustion air flowing in the air circulation chamber 72 is swirled around the intermediate cylinder portion 37 by the guide portion 73. Therefore, compared with the combustion air that flows without turning in the air circulation chamber 72, the circulation path in the air circulation chamber 72 becomes longer, so that combustion air having a higher temperature is introduced into the first chamber 51.

  Further, the intermediate cylinder portion 37 is heated by the combustion heat of the air-fuel mixture, so that the air-fuel mixture and liquefied fuel are heated by the combustion heat via the intermediate cylinder portion 37. Thereby, liquefaction of the vaporized fuel contained in the air-fuel mixture is suppressed and the liquefied fuel is easily vaporized again. As a result, the probability that the liquefied fuel will burn is further increased.

  As described above, in the burner 20, the combustion air, the air-fuel mixture, and the liquefied fuel are heated using the exhaust heat of the combustion gas. Therefore, liquefied fuel is suppressed from being liquefied and liquefied fuel is easily combusted under a simple configuration as compared with a configuration in which a heating unit for heating combustion air, air-fuel mixture, and liquefied fuel is separately provided. In addition, thermal damage to other components around the burner 20 is also suppressed.

  In the burner 20, a part of the combustion heat is absorbed by the combustion air, the air-fuel mixture, and the liquefied fuel. However, under the assumption that the same amount of fuel is supplied to the fuel passage 60 by reducing the unburned fuel resulting from the liquefaction of the vaporized fuel, the combustion air, the air-fuel mixture, and the liquefied fuel are not heated. Output equal to or greater than is retained.

  Incidentally, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are graphs showing the results of experiments conducted on the burner. The burner in the embodiment is the burner 20 described above. On the other hand, the burner of the comparative example is a burner in which the injection port is arranged in the first chamber 51 and the internal passage 61 is not covered with the covering portion 65 in the burner 20. In each of the burners of the example and the comparative example, vaporized fuel having a temperature of 450 ° C. and 0.5 g / s is supplied to the fuel passage 60 only for a predetermined time, and the temperature is 30 ° C., the flow rate is 350 L / min, and the atmospheric pressure is low. Combustion air was supplied from the air supply passage 70 to the air circulation chamber 72.

  FIG. 4 is a graph showing an example of the result of comparing the unburned fuel amount on the downstream side of the burner. As shown in FIG. 4, it was confirmed that the burner 20 of the example has less unburned fuel on the downstream side of the burner than the burner of the comparative example.

  FIG. 5 is a graph showing an example of a result of comparing liquefaction amounts, which are liquid fuel amounts detected in the air circulation chamber immediately after the end of the experiment. As shown in FIG. 5, it was confirmed that the burner 20 of the example has much less fuel accumulated in the air circulation chamber 72 than the burner of the comparative example.

  In the above embodiment, the fuel supply unit is configured by the internal passage 61, and the air supply unit is configured by the air supply pipe 68, the outer cylindrical unit 30, the introduction port 75, and the introduction port 76. Further, the inner cylinder portion 33 constitutes a distal end cylinder portion, and a proximal end cylinder portion is constituted by the portion of the outer cylinder portion 30 sandwiched between the flange portion 35 and the substrate 21 and the substrate 21. The distal end tubular portion and the proximal end tubular portion, and the outer throat portion 34 constitute a tubular portion.

As explained above, according to the burner 20 of the said embodiment, the effect enumerated below can be acquired.
(1) Since the internal passage 61 is covered with the covering portion 65, the combustion air is prevented from being blown to the internal passage 61. As a result, the temperature decrease of the vaporized fuel in the internal passage 61 is suppressed, thereby suppressing the liquefied vaporized fuel. Therefore, an increase in unburned fuel due to liquefied vaporized fuel is suppressed.

  (2) Since the covering portion 65 has a cylindrical shape covering the outer peripheral surface of the internal passage 61, the blowing of combustion air to the internal passage 61 is suppressed with a high probability. As a result, the temperature drop of the vaporized fuel flowing through the internal passage 61 is efficiently suppressed.

  (3) Since the covering portion 65 has the inner throat portion 66, the combustion air blown to the covering portion 65 is guided toward the injection port 62. As a result, the fuel and the combustion air are efficiently mixed.

  (4) In addition, since both the inner throat portion 66 and the reduced diameter portion 36 are constricted on the ejection port 32 side, the combustion air flows into the second chamber 52 while maintaining the swirling state. As a result, the fuel and the combustion air are efficiently mixed.

  (5) Since the channel cross-sectional area S2 in the second chamber 52 is smaller than the channel cross-sectional area S1 in the first chamber 51, the liquefied fuel in the second chamber 52 flows into the third chamber 53 rather than the first chamber 51. It's easy to do. As a result, the probability that the liquefied fuel is burned is increased.

  (6) Since the intermediate cylinder part 37 is heated by the combustion heat of the air-fuel mixture, liquefied fuel is suppressed from being liquefied and the liquefied fuel is easily vaporized again in the third chamber 53 and the fourth chamber 54. As a result, the probability that the liquefied fuel is burned is further increased.

(7) The combustion air flowing into the first chamber 51 is heated by the outer cylindrical portion 30 being heated by the combustion heat of the air-fuel mixture. As a result, liquefaction of vaporized fuel is suppressed.
(8) Exhaust heat of combustion gas is used for heating combustion air, air-fuel mixture, and liquefied fuel. As a result, the configuration for heating the combustion air, the air-fuel mixture, and the liquefied fuel becomes simpler than in the case where a heating unit for heating them is separately provided.

(9) Moreover, since heat dissipation to the periphery of the burner 20 is suppressed, thermal damage to other components in the periphery of the burner 20 is also suppressed.
(10) The combustion air flowing in the air circulation chamber 72 is swung around the intermediate cylinder portion 37 by being guided by the guide portion 73. Therefore, as compared with the case where the combustion air does not swirl in the air circulation chamber 72, the combustion air circulation path in the air circulation chamber 72 becomes longer, so that the combustion air is heated to a higher temperature.

In addition, the said embodiment can also be suitably changed and implemented as follows.
The burner may have a configuration in which the air supply passage 70 is connected to the outer cylindrical portion 30 so as not to communicate with the introduction port 75 and the introduction port 76 without having the air supply pipe 68.

  -If the through-hole which connects the 2nd chamber 52 and the 4th chamber 54 is formed in the surrounding wall of the inner side cylinder part 33, the obstruction board 38 which obstruct | occludes opening of the intermediate | middle cylinder part 37 will be on the ejection port 32 side. The opening of the inner cylindrical portion 33 may be closed.

  -The burner should just be the structure which is not provided with the intermediate | middle cylinder part 37, the obstruction board 38, and the partition wall part 39, if the internal channel | path 61 is covered with the coating | coated part 65. FIG. At this time, it is preferable that the ignition part 43 is disposed in the vicinity of the opening of the inner cylinder part 33.

-The coating | coated part may comprise the cylindrical shape extended linearly. That is, the throat portion may not be formed as long as the covering portion has a cylindrical shape that covers the outer peripheral surface of the internal passage.
The cylindrical portion of the burner may be, for example, a multi-stage cylindrical shape in which the distal end cylindrical portion and the proximal end cylindrical portion are connected by an annular plate without having the outer throat portion 34, or a straight tubular shape. May be. Moreover, the ignition part 43 may be arrange | positioned in the vicinity of the injection port 62 in a cylinder part.

-The injection port 62 may be arrange | positioned in the space enclosed by the outer side throat part 34, and may be arrange | positioned in a base end cylinder part.
-The coating | coated part 65 should just cover a part of outer peripheral surface of the internal channel | path 61, and the shape is not restricted to a cylinder shape. For example, when the site | part to which combustion air is sprayed is specified among internal passages based on the structure of a burner, experiment, etc., the coating | coated part 65 may be plate shape which covers only the site | part. In addition, it is preferable that such a plate-shaped covering portion is formed with a portion that guides the combustion air that has collided with the covering portion to the downstream side in the flow path of the combustion air.

-The coating | coated part 65 should just be a member which covers the outer peripheral surface of the internal channel | path 61, and may be formed with not only metal but synthetic resin.
The burner may be configured such that a guide portion that generates a swirling flow of combustion air is not formed in the air circulation chamber 72. Even in such a configuration, the combustion air is heated by the combustion gas through the outer cylindrical portion 30.

The burner may be configured not to include a swirl flow generation unit that generates a swirl flow of combustion air in the first chamber 51.
The ignition unit may have a configuration in which a glow heater, a laser ignition device, and a plasma ignition device are appropriately mounted in addition to the ignition plug.
